Experienced autobahn drivers explain why it works: Roadshow

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:47:13 GMT

Q: I’m responding to Joe Rudnicki’s question about the autobahn. I lived in Germany for five years and drove on their very fine autobahns. There is no speed limit in some areas between cities, though there are limits in or near cities. You would think this results in vast carnage, but it doesn’t. Fatality rates are similar to the U.S., although their speed is much higher. The autobahn works for three main reasons:It is forbidden to pass someone on the right.The most serious infraction is tailgating. The fine can be extreme because it can be based on your income. $30,000 fines are not unheard of.If you are driving in the No. 1 lane and a guy who wants to go faster comes up behind you, he will not tailgate. He will flash his lights. You must move over to let him pass. There is a big fine for not moving over.German pavement is twice as deep as on American freeways. Roads are maintained much better. You will not hit a huge pothole at 120 mph because there are no huge p...

Too many hot dogs at Oakland Coliseum? Lonely vendor at Oakland A’s game disagrees

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:47:13 GMT

OAKLAND — On many nights, the Coliseum’s vast concrete parking lots are crowded by hot dog vendors offering, for a few bucks, the bacon-wrapped indulgences that Bay Area sports fans often find impossible to resist.They’re so popular, in fact, that stadium officials claim the situation has gotten downright dangerous. Vendors that fill the lots after A’s games and Oakland Arena concerts next door — and even crowd the tunnel bridge between the stadium and its BART station — are creating a safety hazard for fans trying to enter and exit, they say.“If a fire broke out, there would be a crisis,” said Henry Gardner, executive director of a joint powers authority that oversees the Coliseum complex. “We have got to do something — maybe point them to a certain area where they can sell.”Gardner and other Coliseum officials aren’t sure how to address what they describe as a problem of excess vendors — the rare headach...

California’s COVID positivity rate has topped 10% and is still on a steep upward path, nearly tripling since June, according to new data from the state’s Department of Public Health.“Anecdotally, I feel like everybody I know has been getting COVID,” said Dr. Errol Ozdalga, a clinical associate professor of medicine at Stanford.But unless your social circle has been hit by the virus recently, this wave might have caught you by surprise. The public health emergencies are over, testing has become harder to find, and data monitoring has been largely abandoned.
